Using the notion of discrepancy, we developed a new technique for generating uniformly distributed dot patterns. We designed and prototyped a light guide having prismatic grooves and micro scatterers on the surface. We experimentally confirmed that the new pattern of the micro scatterers effectively prevents moiré patterns, and improves the luminance homogeneity.

BACKGROUND The human dive reflex (HDR), a physiological phenomenon similar to the bradycardia reflex used by marine mammals during prolonged submersion, can be employed in managing paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). This review aims to identify a standardised HDR technique for haemodynamically stable PSVT, to determine the effectiveness of the HDR and to define its usefulness in th...

Njemanze, P.C. Asymmetry of cerebral blood flow velocity response to color processing and hemodynamic changes during -6 degrees 24-hour head-down bed rest in men. J. Grav. Physiol. 12(2):??-??, 2005. Color stimulation may evoke significant cerebral responses that may be altered by head-down bed rest (HDR). Eight men were examined in supine horizontal position, with 30 deg head-up (Pre-HDR), and...

As new displays and cameras offer enhanced color capabilities, there is a need to extend the precision of digital content. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging encodes images and video with higher than normal bit-depth precision, enabling representation of the complete color gamut and the full visible range of luminance. This thesis addresses three problems of HDR imaging: the measurement of visibl...

High dynamic range (HDR) images and video contain pixels, which can represent much greater range of colors and brightness levels than that offered by existing, standard dynamic range images. Such “better pixels” greatly improve the overall quality of visual content, making it appear much more realistic and appealing to the audience. HDR is one of the key technologies of the future imaging pipel...

background: the effectiveness and safety of brachytherapy treatment is mainly concerned with the calibration of sources and their traceability to internationally accepted standards. secondary standard dosimetry laboratory (ssdl) does not offer calibration of ionization chambers with gamma-ray spectrum of high dose rate source 192ir . this work has been carried out to calibrate the high dose rat...

High Dynamic Range (HDR) signals capture much higher contrasts as compared to the traditional 8-bit low dynamic range (LDR) signals. This is achieved by representing the visual signal via values that are related to the real-world luminance, instead of gamma encoded pixel values which is the case with LDR. Therefore, HDR signals cover a larger luminance range and tend to have more visual appeal....

Homology-directed repair (HDR) is a critical pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in mammalian cells. Efficient HDR is thought to be crucial for maintenance of genomic integrity during organismal development and tumor suppression. However, most mammalian HDR studies have focused on transformed and immortalized cell lines. We report here the generation of a Direct Repeat (DR...

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques address the need to capture the full range of color and light that the human eyes can perceive in the real world. HDR technology is becoming more and more pervasive. In fact, most of the cameras and smartphones available on the market are capable of capturing HDR images. Among the challenges posed by the spread of this new technology there is the incr...
